Can Governor Abbott have Democrats arrested when they return to Texas?

He says he will have them arrested and brought back to the capitol so the voting restrictions can be passed, and his argument is that legislators have to show up to work just like everyone else. But is it legal to arrest someone and force them to go to the capitol? And since when is it a crime to not show up for work? Are Americans workers or slaves?

Actually they are abandoning their post. Fire them if they don't show up and appoint someone else. Do your job.

@JonLosAngeles66 protecting voters by allowing non voters to vote and voters to vote multiple times with no checks or balances are not voting rights. It's called fraud.

@MasterLee Their “bosses” are their constituents. If their constituents disapprove they can “fire” them when they’re up for election again, which I assume is November next year.
